Jimmer stays and that decision made him millions.

I dunno, it's just weird to see it three years in a row.

Do we know if that aspect of the contract has been

I’m guessing he has already taken money/had things paid for by his

Correct. Haven't heard anything official from BYU

I’d love some truth serum to figure out why players are so anxious to leave

It seems pretty obvious

What seems pretty obvious? It's a new staff. If Rose/staff was the issue, why wouldn't Yoeli come back, assuming

they just want money now... can't see beyond the paycheck...

I guess. It's not like Yoeli is going to be making big $ and probably not much more than he would be making with

Considering he could play another season at BYU and reclaim some draftability

Aladdin was a millennial

See I don't buy the millenial stuff. If these millenials thought that returning

I agree 100%. It is short sighted. Yoeli is going to play in a podunk league

or he could stay in school, get a worthless degree

LOL, glad you are not my kids leader. You could go be a welder for $50k or

BYU ex-athletes with a degree have a practically guaranteed job within the

Yeoli Childs probably isn't a Millennial. Generation Z or whatever they're

Probably a lot of things, but the lack of success and having "fun"

Zero chance of beating Gonzaga and winning the league??

Definitely part of it

I’ve heard a lot of these guys are excited about finally not playing in high school gyms.

Zach Morris

5/13/19 2:05pm

They'd rather play in JC gyms with garbage thrown at them?

ochobeeguy

5/13/19 2:07pm

Sorry, I can't feel their pain. At least half the games are played in a cavernous facility in front of great fans.

SierraCoug

If they had more talent and played better they wouldn’t have to....

As opposed to broken down and dangerous high schools gyms in Europe?

Lance71

Yoeli can prove his worth to NBA teams just as easily

chinngiskhaan

5/14/19 10:48am

Not many players move from Europe to the NBA. Especially the lower leagues

Lance71

5/14/19 11:22am

and? How many BYU players move from BYU to the NBA?

chinngiskhaan

5/14/19 11:23am

But that’s apparently the rule for the best player on the team to do now at BYU.

Gerald-DeGroot

5/13/19 2:57pm

Doesn’t that just mean he’s not a top 40 player, which we already knew?

BYUCLA

5/13/19 3:20pm

Actually means he's not in the top 106. 66 players were invited to the NBA

RdF3

5/13/19 5:13pm

I didn’t realize it was in addition to the combine players. Wow.

BYUCLA

5/13/19 5:15pm

So technically Yoeli isn't in the top 106 draft prospects

RdF3

5/13/19 5:15pm

This to me this is the truly sad thing - Yoeli isn't a top 100 prospect
